This Property is Off-Market

  • Quintessential Heights Bungalow - all impeccably renovated and ready for you to move right in!
  • The garage has an attached additional covered area for parking -- or parties! Driveway includes center pavers and grass for easy drainage. Concrete was just replaced in 2021.
  • Welcome home... it all starts with a front porch -- of course!
  • E. 16th is one of the best streets in Norhill's Historic District, located on the east side of the Heights. Known for its deed restrictions, this intact neighborhood still exudes the Heights charm of yesteryear.  And this particular block has a wonderful group of neighbors that you'll enjoy too.
  • Step inside the Craftsman-style front door to this open living / dining / kitchen! Current owners began their renovations in 2020 with the help of Lucas Craftsmanship, a local contractor known for quality and attention to detail. These beautiful 2 1/4 inch red oak floors were added throughout the home.
  • Looking toward the front of the home. Dimmable, recessed lighting throughout most of the house provides a soft overall light at your preferred level of brightness. Energy efficient windows and attic insulation help with energy costs too.
  • Look at these 3 large sets of double windows for great natural light!
  • Kitchen area is open, yet defined by this traditional archway. Kitchen remodel was part of the 2020 renovations.
  • Professionally designed by kitchen expert, and custom built -- you'll love it! Breakfast spot for two also provides a lot of serving area for gatherings. One of the standout features in the kitchen is the number of drawers used instead of typical cabinets -- drawers are so much more practical for accessing what you need quickly. All drawers and cabinets are soft-close too.
  • The fantastic wall of cabinets on the left goes all the way to the ceiling and contains excellent pantry and storage space for all other things a kitchen needs! The refrigerator stays too.
  • A view of this gorgeous kitchen from the breakfast nook. Everything is well laid out and functional, you'll love creating/cooking here! Gas cooktop is by KitchenAid. Wall oven shown at right has convection option for quicker preparation.
  • Under-cabinet lighting highlights quartz countertops and marble backsplash, and gives the room a nice warm glow. You'll enjoy washing up in the Blanco single-bowl sink with a sweet window above.
  • Everything was thought of here -- and custom built to high standards -- you've got to see it!
  • Just past the kitchen is this flexible nook -- it can be a breakfast area or a spot to sit and check out the news online while someone else cooks -- gazing at your back yard can be pretty peaceful too.
  • A full look back toward the front door. The double doors at right open to the handy laundry area.
  • So easy to handle laundry from this area -- the full-size stacked washer and dryer will remain. To the right of them is storage area for cleaning & laundry supplies.
  • The primary bedroom suite features a vaulted ceiling that makes it feel even larger than its already generous proportions.  Windows overlook the driveway. Door at left in the background goes to primary walk-in closet. Contemporary ceiling fan with light gives the room a crisp modern touch.
  • This beautiful primary bathroom was part of the 2020 renovation by Lucas. Subtle shades and choice materials create an elegant retreat.
  • Fully renovated with a lovely quartz countertop and custom cabinetry to make the best use of the space.  And we love the sophisticated shape and size of the tile flooring.
  • A deep soaking tub by Duravit, with slanted back for relaxing baths. This glass shower enclosure features a linear drain, and keeps all the water in the shower!
  • Big primary walk-in closet is fitted with built-in shelves and drawers, a wall of double hanging rods, and a handy shelf above that goes 360 degrees around the top of the closet.
  • Front bedroom looks out to the porch and gets a wonderful eastern natural light. Paint colors throughout are a soft neutral tone, and everything is in tip-top shape for you! Doorway to bathroom is on the right.
  • The renovated hall bath is open to the front bedroom as well as to guests through a hallway. Just look at this marvelous shower enclosure! Such a fun fresh style in white subway tile with dark grout. As in the primary bath, the glass shower enclosure features a no-threshold entry and a linear drain -- sleek! And water stays in the shower!
  • View of the hall bath as seen from the bedroom. Custom designed to maximize space and shelving, the sink & cabinet features a long countertop with open shelving underneath.
  • Now let's head outside from the kitchen area... These double glass doors offer a really nice look at your back porch and back yard.
  • First is the deep covered porch! Look at that pretty evening light!
  • Landscape uplighting is in place all around the home -- and it's set to automatically come on at dusk -- nothing better than pretty lighting -- and it has all been done for you!
  • The walk-in access to the garage is via the door shown here. There is a pedestrian gate too, which can be locked, and it goes out to the covered area and driveway.
  • Most of this lovely back yard is decked or sidewalk -- which means low maintenance and easy use of this outdoor space.  See that white door on the side of the garage?  Look what is inside...
  • This excellent insulated and finished room, about 11x10, with a nice vinyl plank flooring.  PLUS, the sliding pocket door shown on the right leads to another room just like it!! The rooms are heated and cooled by this super quiet mini-split unit.  What can you do with these rooms?!
  • Here is the other finished/insulated/heated & cooled room. Notice the 2 dark screens between the two rooms -- it allows for airflow, but provides privacy between them. Think... 2 home offices? An office and a home gym? An office and a storage room?  A craft room and a kid's playroom while you craft?  The garage walk-in door is accessed in the second room, closest to the garage. The oversized one-car garage is 14 x 22 -- with a workbench. Garage is also insulated w/ access to floored attic space above it.
  • This beautiful custom carport was also built by Lucas Craftsmanship and offers space for one vehicle -- or a fantastic outdoor gathering flowing from the back yard! The pull-down attic stair seen here provides access to more storage over the carport and garage.
  • This closeup view of the carport shows just how great it looks! By the way, this home has an automatic standby 24 KW GENERAC generator also, located on the opposite side of the home from the driveway.
  • We are back at the lovely street view -- hope you'll come by for an in-person tour! You will not be disappointed.
  • Ready to make your home in the Heights?  Here is one of the best you'll find!

School information is generated by the most current available data we have. However, as school boundary maps can change, and schools can get too crowded (whereby students zoned to a school may not be able to attend in a given year if they are not registered in time), you need to independently verify and confirm enrollment and all related information directly with the school.
